KDSkamal's Universal WM6 beautiful Edition

Contents: OS only
Memory after hard-reset..
based on: midget ROM
main memory:35.9MB
program memory:>27MB
Really, I always wanted to get productive instead of flashing my halley berry(my black universal) after every 1h or so. I was spending more time flashing and setting it up.
This ROM is actually for those people who want all the important utilities as a part of OS itself.
Some highlights of this ROM..
*no crap in "my documents": this includes all the useless pics, nonsense sounds Actually, before this ROM, whatever ROM I used to use, this was the first thing I used to do that is, delete all this crap. yay, this means no "dog bark" sound !!
*It should be clean and usable for business purposes: Clearly, we have invested so much(put more stress on "so much!") on our device. That is why, no crap
*Vista skin for WMP mobile:thanks to Xcillion. This really makes me say, WOW! Infact, this is now the default skin of the ROM. see the second screenshot
*TCPMP: yeah! It is a part of ROM now. So, you save ~1.5MB(yay!)
*no bubble-breaker
*Adobe reader pre-hacked to VGA mode.
See the difference in the first screenshot given below
*Playlist editor inbuilt to the ROM:find it in the "utilities" folder. Now, you can make/edit playlists on the go
*USB HDD:find it in the "utilities" folder
*Pocket RAR:
*no "one note mobile":see the third screenshot. This is no more(anyone used it anyway?)
*soft keys mapped to contacts and adobe reader. The left soft-key says "my contacts" and the right soft-key says "my PDFs". Sounds windows..isn't?
*some really nice and beautiful themes are built into the ROM. I m sure, everybody would like them. See the 4th, 5th and 6th screenshots.
*on the other hand, the ugly looking themes which used to be built into the ROM are gone now. Yeah no guavas and no green theme
*the default ringtone just got changed! The ringtone is soothing now. I extracted it when I had a chance to beta-test the "atom exec"(~1y ago from now). Its lovely. I m sure, all of you will like it. And don't worry, the default WM6 is still there. Just by some other name
*no htc plugin
*no pim backup:accept it! all of us have better backup tools(somebody said, spb backup?)
Just a little request after hard-reset: you gotta manually go to the file explorer>>windows>>start menu>>programs and delete the backup folder from there.
I m somehow unable to delete it
If someone can mirror it, it would be benificial for the community
THANKS TO..
Laurentius:thanks my friend
Maimach:god?
Midget:cool guy, isn't he?
Helmi:god number 2?

This ROM is based in Midgets, so it doesn´t have videocall.
I personally like the "Clean ROM" idea, having a customized extended ROM or my favorite apps cabs to install afterwards.
Beauty is a very discussible concept: p

seems like a nice release.
but why did you change the phone skin? the delete button still has its pink mask around it =\
and of course it would be unchangeable because its in the rom, so the images are read only.

Odd isn't. This pink portion should actually be inivisible. Actually, in photoshop, the pink(to be exact, magenta) is depicted by 255,0,255. This is not seen in WM5 ROMs. Mysteriously, this is still seen in WM6 ROMs
I ll try to come out with a path or something to overcome this. IMHO, it still looks way sexy than the O2 skin or tmobile skin, does not it?

its nice, but being unable to change it and fix the pink mask and having to live with it forever is kind of a big NO NO in rom making, IMHO of course.

marvelous
a babe rom...
based on midget's....
i wanted to know....
there were some issues of Bluetooth handsfree usage with midget's roms. after a while... they do not acknowledge the commands given to the phone from the bluetooth handsfee unit. e.g. last dialed number, voice dial, hang up. etc.
is this all fixed?
Otherwise... the base rom is almost flawless.

Last dialed number: working
Hang up: working
voice dial: not installed(acutally no voice dialing app is there)
Actually, my BT handsfree is always connected with my universal, so I can confirm what is working and what is not

Nope!!
Appreciate your concern...
i'm on your rom at the moment. have been testing since released. the problem still persists.
you are right... it does work for a while but after that... it starts.
i'm using Motorola H350 Hands free. its command button (you know the one on the ear piece) is dead and not working now. but the status of being connected is still appearing on universal. To get it work, one has to re-pair it.
while in this button un-responsive status; if a call is dialed from the phone, its voice & mic are flawlessly routed to the bluetooth handsfree but the call cannot be put on hang up/mute/hold or any function that the button supports.
this does not happen in other ROMs like Jwrightmcp's, helmis, pdaviet, darkforce or default WM5.
Only Lt. Cmd Ivan's ELF ROM and Midgets all builds have this bug.
i think there is some problem with this Windows Mobile 6 Professions CE OS 5.2.1413 (Build 17913.0.3.0)
i might be wrong but all tests have been done and problem is detected.
my request is if we could get this bug fixed. the ROM would be a Mega Hit.
Its speed is great (seems like the device is overclocked)
stability is good.
more device memory
garbage date removed (dog bark, bubble breaker etc)\
* battery drains quicker but is affordable
looking forward...

Now, thats odd. My BT handsfree works fine. Are you sure that the problem is not with the handsfree?

I love the idea of a clean ROM with only the truly ubiquitous apps in it - the only problem is that nobody agrees on what those apps are.
I think I agree with pretty much everything you've chosen apart from the Adobe Reader over Pocket XPDF. However, I like your stance of functionality for business - I need my Exec to give me the functionality I require whilst approaching the reliability of a proper phone - recently, it's been a great PDA, and a shockingly bad phone. Hopefully, the latest release of ROMs will improve matters.
Cheers,
Steve.

A few things I dislike in WM6: How to fix them?

Hi there!
First of all I tried a few versions of the WM6 Roms that are around in this forum, I all of them are working great & stable!
But appearently WM6 has a few bugs (maybe it's not a bug but a feature. ) I dislike....
1. Whatever which ROM I use doesn't change the profile to "headset", when I plug in my headset. So WMP plays the music out of my headset, but ringtones still play out of the phone..
When using WM5 this was different: all kind of sounds played out of the headset and the phone stayed muted.
How can I change that?
2. I can't connect to hidden SSIDs.. I know that there's a patch and some of the roms have this patch included, but can you explain how to patch this on a non-patched rom?
3. Does someone have a COMPLETE german localisation? I tried some but they all had still some strings which wheren't translated to german..
This is all I want to know
Hope you have some answers..
Martin

headset profile doesn't exist in WM6,or to be more precise it exists but it's not like in WM5 you can not change this profile, guys from wce.by tried to do something with that, they even imported some files from wm5 to make it posible to edit or change the issue about ringtones still play out the profile apeared in the list of profiles, but no mater what you change in it ....it all the same... so it's a known issue about WM6...maybe 6.1 which is to come will change smth.

WOW #1 might be the KILLER feature I was looking for
My phone currently has the "stuck in headset mode" problem as described here: http://www.modaco.com/content/HTC-C...headset-mode-tried-all-suggestions-have-seen/
Martin (or anybody else), Do you know if this helps fix this problem?

flash the rom and post here if it works for you.

Loads fine and works good. Will test this out and let you know how it goes. Thank you for the release.

I just flashed this rom, it seems very nice. By that i mean, it is fast, doesn't take too much time to load things. Specialy my music library, every other rom i have tried took a little while to load my music library, But this rom did not take half as much time as the others.
One thing i would like to have changed or removed is the poweroff, and the reason i am asking for is because if you are listening to music and if you press the power button to save battery life it shuts down the music player.
Another beautifull thing i would like to mention about this rom is that if you are texting while listening to music, and decide to use the QWERTY keyboard it doesn't shut down the music player, which all the other roms i have tried had this issue.
One more to mention, is when i flashed this rom, it did not show me the screen for customization and everything was already customized and set for use, which would eventually reset the device which itself takes a lot of time.
So far thums up

Just flashed it.
Pros:
<1>The bluetooth device driver is working! Thanks!
<2>Very fast. After I installed the cabs I needed, the memory is about 18MB without Music and Photo tabs.
<3>Internet, email and weather works.
<4>The sound is clear and loud.
Since I am using Tmobile wing (sample of mismatch: @ is mismatched to =), I had to install the keyboard fix - AEKMap 1.3.

I will definitely search for the tweak, i clearly forgot to mention that i flashed a t-mobile wing.
But one problem i am having is the wifi connectivity, i do get a strong signal from my router but it actually doesn't connect.
I am also searching for network wizard cab, so i can check mms. If you have it handy can you post the link for it.
I found out that in the programs tab, if you click only once on a program link it opens it up. which all other roms i had tried had the problem of needing double clicking. So it definitely is another positive point.

this ROM works great. super fast and the bluetooth and wifi is working.. no bugs so far..

You can make it 12hr it by going to settings>system>regional settings>time> change style to the 1st or 2nd option.
I like the 24hr clock as it looks prettier on this theme.

It might be that the rom was not flashed properly.Try flashing the rom again.And the available program memory on this rom is 17-19mb.

As far as the wifi problem - It might be that there is a problem with the wifi gateway because it is working fine for other xda members.Try it with any other network and if it still does not work then post here.

Custom Ringtones

So i was wonderin what you guys use to make your own ringtones. I used to use motorola phone tools for my old phone but now im beyond that.
so what do you guys use?
thanx! much love

I used Audacity(at first) because I can trim any song in my existing library and still change the pitch and bitrate to make it louder. I hardly use custom ringtones now, but I tried the MP3 Trimmer .cab and that worked great.

ok i actually found a decent program to use but now my problem is that the volume that comes out of the phone is so low you can barely even hear it. any suggestions as to how to fix that?

Though I didn't make them from scratch, I "embraced and extended" some existing tones. Check the notifications section on my site which is in my sig.

[Q] Please help. HTC HD2 AmeriCanAndroid Newbie.

Hi guys and girls.
All I want to know is:
Installation & Updating Proceedure is the same!:
Download the build to your pc.
1. americanandroid.7z -> unzip!
2. copy folder unzipped\AmeriCanAndroid\Android -> to -> \sdcard\Android
(COPY THE WHOLE FOLDER.. NOT JUST INDIVIDUAL FILES!!!!!!)
3. in winmo, run clrcad.exe and haret.exe in the \storage card\Android\ folder. OR (alternatively install exceller bootloader for winmo for one click or AUTO launch of Android OS)
first boot always takes a long time be patient, it will work, and future boots do not take as long.
^^^^^^^^^^
That part, right there. How long is "a long time" just so I know if everything is going smooth or if something is wrong. Currently been 25-35 minutes now and still on the black screen with tiny white writing.
9 lines, last line reads "jumping to kernel (custom)..."
Thanks for your time,
Xuazvius.

it will one click launch android for you (if you dont have sound you arnt reading enough!)
im gonna flag the mods to close down and remove this thread... as this stuff should be directed to the right place . your not gonna ask the homeless guy hanging around outside a tireshop about tires, when you can walk into the tire shop to ask the same questions.

Sound disappears
Similar problem here. I have sound in americanandroid, it works fine for some time, but then it disappears for no particular reason. No ringtone, no notification, no mp3 sound. I do not change any settings. Sound works fine in Widnows, restart Android - sound appears and then same thing. I have TMobile HTC HD2 1024 version.
